Now is the Start

Hi, friends.

Right now I'm sitting in the classiest Starbucks I have ever set foot in. It's one of the ones that has an evening menu and serves wine, small dinner plates, and desserts. With the classical music playing, you can't help but feel at least a little relaxed.

Actually, right now it's rather ironically theatrical. There's a train station a block away with a fire truck/ambulance ordeal. So, while I sit here in peace, my mind drowned with the classical music and my body filled with the warmth of the season, there are sirens going by and goodness knows whats wrong causing delays all over the city in the heart of rush hour.

Not that this is abnormal. Just ironic that I'm witnessing it from where I am. Kind of like when the band kept playing on the Titanic, no?

Can I share a new song with you? Okay, cool. :]

Here are thoughts:

I get discouraged a lot. "Comparison is the thief of joy."

I wish people in positions of authority were better e-mailers.

I wonder if my future boyfriend will wear cargo shorts.

Passing Panera every day helps me understand a little of what Adam an Eve felt passing the Tree.

Sometimes eating meat makes me feel sick.

Sometimes it doesn't.

I've met more people in the last two weeks that since probably my first week of college.

Neopets still hasn't gotten me my birthday. I think I might call them.

My legs are never properly shaved.

Design. Consumes. Me.

Also, with my new website (yes, I have the allysonkate.com!!) which I am currently in the process of coding to make it pretty and live with my portfolio. But I had to make a blog for it. So that will be my design related blog. This is perfect, because I've always wanted this to be more personal. And Tumblr is too silly to be my actual design blog. Nothing there really, but I'll basically just be posting three bits of inspiration a week for class, for now. That's at allysonkate.com/blog

Okay. Love love!
